In this paper we study the behavior of the Igusa–Todorov functions for Artin algebras A with finite injective dimension, and Gorenstein algebras as a particular case. We show that the ϕ -dimension and ψ -dimension are finite in both cases. Also we prove that monomial, gentle and cluster tilted algebras have finite ϕ -dimension and finite ψ -dimension.

Abstract: Let R be a finite dimensional k-algebra over an algebraically closed field k and modR be the category of all finitely generated left R-modules. For a given full subcategory of modR, we denote by the projective finitistic dimension of . That is, . It was conjectured by H. Bass in the 60''s that the projective finitistic dimension has to be finite. Since then, much work has been done toward the proof of this conjecture. Recently, K. Igusa and G. Todorov defined in [K. Igusa, G. Todorov, On the finitistic global dimension conjecture for artin algebras, in: Representations of Algebras and Related Topics, in: Fields Inst. Commun., vol. 45, Amer. Math. Soc., Providence, RI, 2005, pp. 201–204] a function , which turned out to be useful to prove that is finite for some classes of algebras. In order to have a different approach to the finitistic dimension conjecture, we propose to consider a class of full subcategories of modR instead of a class of algebras. That is, we suggest to take the class of categories , of θ-filtered R-modules, for all stratifying systems in modR. We prove that the Finitistic Dimension Conjecture holds for the categories of filtered modules for stratifying systems with one or two (and some cases of three) modules of infinite projective dimension.

We prove that if A is an artin algebra, G is a finite group acting on A such that |G| is invertible in A, and R = A[G]b is a basic algebra associated with the skew group algebra, then A is left supported (or right supported, or laura, or left glued, or right glued, or weakly shod, or shod) if and only if so is R.

Let be a component of the Auslander-Reiten quiver of an Artin algebra containing projective and injective modules. Assume that the length of any path from an injective in to a projective in is bounded by some fixed number. We prove here that such component has no oriented cycles and is generalized standard, so containing only finitely many -orbits. Components of the Auslander-Reiten quiver of an Artin algebra containing paths in ind from injective to projective modules have appeared naturally in some classes of algebras such as quasitilted or shod. In both cases, these paths can be refined to paths of irreducible maps and any such path has either none hooks (in the case of a quasitilted algebra) or at most two of them (in the case of a shod algebra). See below for definitions.Here, we are interested in studying the components of such that there exists a number such that any path from an injective to a projective lying on it has at most hooks. We shall see that this is equivalent to the existence of a number such that any path in ind from an injective to a projective lying on it has length at most (Theorem 4.1). Such a component does not have oriented cycles (Corollary 3.4) and it is generalized standard (Theorem 4.3), hence containing only finitely many -orbits.In fact, when considering the existence of oriented cycles in such components, we shall prove the following more general result. If is a component of such that the number of hooks in any path of irreducible maps from an injective in to a projective in is bounded, then has no oriented cycles (Theorem 3.1). This generalizes Liu's main result in, where he shows that any component of such that any path of irreducible maps from an injective in to a projective in is sectional (that is, with no hooks) has no oriented cycles. Observe that Li has also considered such components and has shown that the above condition on the paths from injectives to projectives characterizes the existence of a section in . The...

Abstract: In this paper, we introduce and study a class of algebras which we call ada algebras. An artin algebra is ada if every indecomposable projective and every indecomposable injective module lies in the union of the left and the right parts of the module category. We describe the Auslander–Reiten components of an ada algebra which is not quasi-tilted, showing in particular that its representation theory is entirely contained in that of its left and right supports, which are both tilted algebras. Also, we prove that an ada algebra over an algebraically closed field is simply connected if and only if its first Hochschild cohomology group vanishes. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]
